I have used OME, RTE, Bilstein and TerraFirma over the years.
RTE straight rate springs are very harsh. The variable rate are very good.
OME springs were all Harsh and the shocks failed to impress.
Bilstein standard shocks are very firm, and the 7100 remotes were good but not worth the cash for most casual users.
TerraFirma is a nice balance of cost and ride. No where near as harsh on the springs and the shocks pair nicely with TerraFirma springs or new stock springs. For a very good overall ride quality. I have also experienced TF Suspension being beaten like a red-headed step child and seem to enjoy the abuse and perform perfectly.
To me for 90% of off roaders the TerraFirma equipment is going to make you happy and do what you need it to do.

I have the terrafirma 3” springs and their adjustable shocks. I don’t know what they call them. The shock boots are red and there are 4 adjustments on the shocks. I have them set on the soft setting now thinking as I add more weight to the rig with bumpers, winch, roof rack and all our gear that I can set the dampening. I’ve been very happy with the setup. Also have the steering dampener. What a difference that made, well worth the $55.
